Joygasm Podcast Ep. 96: Paying Tribute to Stan Lee

We were saddened to hear of Stan Lee passing away on Veteren's Day this past Monday. This episode takes time to reflect on the sheer impact Stan Lee's creativity over the last 80 years has had, not only to loyal comic book geeks, but to folks around the world at large.

The force is strong with this one! We share our reactions to the Star Wars: Secrets Of The Empire Virtual Reality experience (spoiler free) created by Industrial Light & Magic's X-Lab in partnership with The Void. What exactly is The Void? Their website describes it best:
"It's hyper-reality. It’s technical achievement. But mainly, it’s fun! THE VOID is a whole-body, fully immersive VR experience, full of surprises at every turn; with you, your family and friends inside the action. One second you’re standing on solid ground, the next you’re stepping deep into darkness, looking at unimaginable beauty – or fending off danger from another realm. Did you see it? Did you feel it? What’s next? You’ll just have to experience it to understand."
Episode 89 is a BEAST, clocking in at 2 hours & 8 minutes! If you desire to just listen to our Topic of the Day, you can skip to the 1 hour mark ON THE DOT. However, there is a smorgasbord of other saucy content during the first half that you should check out too: Nintendo Switch Online launches, European & American regulators tackling gambling in games, Sony reveals the Playstation Classic Mini, the new Captain Marvel teaser trailer, photos and a video revealing how Joaquin Phoenix looks as the Joker, The X-Men getting the Disney MCU treatment & more...
